The thing with desis is .. OK I will say it, that they want to be involved, involved in the couples personal matters.
If a couple has a Nikkah and no 'Rukhsati' and the couple is doing it secretly then they the society will not know, hence not be involved in the news. Our people want the first to know, to be kept in touch with the happening.
I am not say that people should or not, its just its not wrong.
The rukhsati is a stupid tradition IMO and for all of those who say, "oh but it's part of our culture," it's a foolish tradition that we all perpetuate needlessly.
I knew of a lady (actually it was before my time), she was 7 months pregnant at the time of her rukhsati and **people all haww-hayeed, **when religiously there was nothing wrong with her having been intimate and pregant after her nikkah. It's the whole idea of making "haraam" what Allah (swt) has made halal.
